Beauty & Care Steps

　　1. Bathe the dogs in the kennel regularly. Once a week for racing dogs, once every two weeks in summer and once every four to six weeks in winter for other dogs. Bathing promotes the growth of new hair, removes dirty hair, and bathing prevents skin irritations from occurring. Because canine skin has a different pH than human skin, use a pet-specific bath for your dog.

2, If your Pomeranian is ready to participate in the competition, it is better to give them a bath every day or every other day before the competition, if your Pomeranian has the right rough and textured coat, this will not make their fur soft. Or if your Pomeranian’s coat is a bit soft, then they should be bathed once every 4 to 5 days before the race. This will prevent dry dirt or dust from wearing down their coat. Due to the limited cleaning quality of dry cleaning powder, it is best not to use it on them too often.

3. The toenails of Pomeranians must be kept as short as possible in order to keep their paws in the typical “cat’s paw”. Remember to check the overhanging toes frequently and trim them when appropriate. The hair around the anus also needs to be kept short. In the summer, if there are no competitions in the last few months, I always cut their hair short and they love to change their hairstyles. And in the winter their hair goes back to its original shape.

4, Before grooming your dog, you should wet the coat first. Grooming a dog without wetting it may break the coat. Add one ounce of conditioner to a spray bottle and spray it onto the dog while grooming, and finish with a bristle brush or pin comb. Don’t use a pin comb if there are clumps of hair on the body, as this can cause damage to the coat.Mason-Pearson bristle brushes work great for Pomeranian grooming!

5. If possible, do not use products containing silicone for dogs, which will have an effect on the dog’s coat. If you must use this product, be sure to clean it within 2 or 3 days, and don’t use it on hot days.

Although the Pomeranian is a small toy dog, it originated as a northern sled-drawing breed and is not only a common companion and pet dog, but also a very competitive competition dog. Though small and compact, it has an alert disposition, intelligent expression, and often a prominent personality that is disproportionate to its size.

 

1) Coat Care

The Pomeranian has a double coat, which is relatively easy to care for in the breed and is small in size, but still requires time and effort. In addition to maintaining the texture of the outer guard hairs, it is important that the overall appearance of the silhouette, like a ball of fur, is maintained, so the coat needs a certain amount of fluffiness.

A Pruning

Trimming to make the outline sharp and neat is permitted, and the hair at the tips of the ears can be rounded with thinning shears to harmonize with the rounded head. The hair on the feet is then trimmed to give a rounded cat’s paw shape. Trim the hair below the root of the tail to make the tail more defined and shorten the dorsal line. The trimmed hair on the front chest, belly line and thighs should also be trimmed to make the overall silhouette look like a round ball. Care should be taken to observe the overall outline when trimming. Any product that flattens and softens the coat should not be used on the Pomeranian or the fluffy profile will be lost, while his outer coat is coarse and hard, the applicable products will maintain and even enhance this texture.

B Bathing and cleaning

Dilute the Wheat Shape Essentials Shampoo 1:3 and bathe as soon as possible, and since Pomeranians are active and don’t want to stay in the bath honestly, it’s important to wash them as soon as possible. For the final rinse, dissolve ½ teaspoon of Deep Sea Restorative Coat Oil in 4-6 cups of water and drench well. This all-natural oil will not soften the coat and gives it deep nourishment. You can also use this mixture in a spray bottle on the hair behind the ears and around the male dog’s genitals. If long hair is prone to tangling, use a golf ball-sized dollop of high-moisturizing conditioning mousse dissolved in 1 cup of water and sprayed on the hair to comb it out, which effectively solves the phenomenon of tangling and felting, and does not cause the hair to collapse.

C Blow-drying and conditioning

　　The temperature of the blow-dry is preferably cool or warm, never hot. Blow the dead hairs from the body thoroughly and fluff up the coat to create a furry look. At the same time, blowing the hair away makes it easy to check for skin problems, as well as skin parasites such as ticks, which can be itchy, although they don’t cause too serious skin problems. Long-haired breeds in particular need regular blow-drying in order to detect these parasites, as well as other skin troubles, in a timely manner. A good way to make the coat look richer, especially on bare coats during the shedding period, is to use Hair Enhancement Cream, dissolve 1 tablespoon of Hair Enhancement Cream in 1 cup of water, place it in a graduated spray bottle, shake well, and spray evenly over the area to be used. On the day of the competition, use Hair Booster to straighten out any flat hairs. Spray a small amount and brush dry, or use a hair dryer to set the coat.

　　Here are a few Pomeranian grooming products. One is the Racing Grooming Supplies Instant Hydration Hair Care Spray, which has a stronger erecting effect than the Hair Enlargement Paste, and can be diluted 1:1 or used directly. However, the Hair Booster can also increase the thickness of individual hairs in addition to making the hairs stand up, so you can combine the two as needed, for example, use the Hair Booster to make the hairs thicker and then use the Hair Spray to make the hairs more upright. Another more effective styling product is the Cool Dog Styling Mousse. After bathing, when the coat is 80% dry, dissolve a golf ball-sized dollop of mousse in 1 cup of water, spray it on the coat, and then blow-dry it until it is completely dry, which will make the coat more erect and add texture. However, as double coated breeds tend to be in different coat states, the amount used should be chosen on a case-by-case basis. Once again, it’s important to emphasize that Pomeranians have a rounded, puffy appearance, so any product that softens and collapses the coat should be avoided. Brush all the long, thick hair thoroughly, not just the surface hair, but all the undercoat thoroughly. Pay attention to the direction and technique when brushing, which should result in a fluffier coat.

D Tear Stain Cleaning

Pomeranians rarely have tear stains, but some light-colored Pomeranians do occasionally. you can use a small toothbrush or cotton swab to brush the whitening toothpaste on these areas, being careful not to touch the eyes. wipe it off after 10-15 minutes, and then you can use the Seaweed and Green Tea Extracts Deep Cleansing Hair Wash to wash the hair from around the eye area, being careful to not let the liquid get into the eyes.

To finish, sprinkle a little bit of the whitening powder onto a hog bristle brush and gently brush it over the coat to give it a little shine. Be sure not to use too much or your dog will look like a glowing Santa Claus. You can also use a little deodorizing fragrance to make your dog smell pleasantly clean. The Pomeranian is an outgoing, very intelligent and active dog, making it a very good companion dog as well as a very competitive competition dog, it’s like it was made for competition.
